What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Minimize the Risk of the Development of Blistering.

    Number of participants without blisters at study visit

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Participants Rated 'Very Good to Excellent' for Comfort, Conformability and the Acceptability of the Dressing.
